Today we go to Val Vista Lakes, a Master Planned Community located in Gilbert, Arizona…

Of note: This video was shot in late October, so some of the listing numbers are slightly off. There are currently 9 condos and 43 single family homes listed in Val Vista Lakes. Prices range from $150,000 to $1,395,000 — and all points in between.

You can search all listed Val Vista Lakes homes and condos below, or go straight to the dedicated Val Vista Lakes Homes Search page.

Today we spotlight Agritopia, a unique development located in Gilbert, AZ.

Agritopia consists of approximately 470 homes built around a working urban farm. Homes are not your typical Phoenix suburbia homes of earth-tone stucco and tile roofs. Many have basements (unusual in the Phoenix area) and multiple floor plans that include front porches and side or rear entry garages make Agritopia a different and interesting place to own a home.

Agritopia, with 13 homes currently listed for sale and 22 homes sold in the last six months is one of the few subdivisions in Phoenix that can lay claim to being a “Seller’s market”. Home values are in the $220 – $440K range.

This is our second video in this series and my cinematography skills still leave much to be desired. Camera shake is an obvious problem when shooting video while driving a bouncy Jeep Wrangler. (Not to mention shooting video while driving a car really isn’t a very intelligent thing to do). If you can handle the “Blair Witch” effect however, you can get a reasonable idea of what Agritopia has to offer.

Regular readers here will know that I’ve failed miserably in the past at having a “Weekly Feature”. I’ve learned my lesson. Streets of Phoenix will be published on a wildly random basis depending on factors such as time, motivation and planet alignment.

The plan, which will likely morph over time, is to produce short video clips of various and sundry things in and around the Phoenix metro area. Most will be real estate related, some not-so-much. You won’t find professional quality cinematography here. Nor will you find professional actors or voice-overs. You’ll find me, and occasionally Francy (who appears to have an aversion to being caught on video…). Just a couple of real estate agents driving the streets of Phoenix and bringing a piece of that back to you.

Leisure World: An active adult community where amenities abound!

Our inaugural episode features a little bit of Leisure World in Mesa. Leisure World as an active adult community (55+) that offers an amazing litany of amenities. It’s gated and guarded, so unless you know someone living there (or you have a listing in Leisure World) you can’t just drive around for a look.

So we present you with this video clip:

From a pure production standpoint (not to mention entertainment) the video is too long. But it’s meant to be more educational than entertaining and I think (for a first video ever), that is does that — though it could certainly be better. My editing and cinematography skills are basically nonexistent. But they’ll get better too, I assure you.
